Swinging in the Shadows (Two Part Series)
During the 50s, a free-spirited creativity emerged in California. Young idealistic artists and poets formed an underground distinct from the status quo mainstream. They rocked the LA art and poetry scene. Up the coast, they energized SF with innovative, spirited work--"swinging" in the shadows of American culture.
